A lot of people are really hating on the new Assassins' Creed games because Ubisoft is releasing 2 of them, one exclusive for each gen. I've noticed that a lot of the same people are ardent suporters of remasters like TLOU:R. Isn't it a bit hypocritical to criticize Ubisoft in this case?

I am not saying that the TLOU:R was a bad idea or a cash-grab. I actually like the game. I'm just pointing out that a lot of people are saying that Assassin's Creed Rogue is a cash-grab, saying that it is so because it's being uneccessarily released on a previous generation, making it a cash-grab with Ubisoft just afraid to lose some profit from old-gen customers.

I don't get this mentality when some of the same people praise TLOU:R. TLOU:R was released on a new generation so people that didn't have access to the original could play it. Rogue is being released so people who don't yet have new consoles have a chance to play AC without having the main game gimped due to it being cross-gen. In a way, it's the same concept. Giving more people access to a series.

I'm really just confused about this mentality. Once again, I'm not hating on TLOU:R, I actually believe that the game is amazing, I just don't get how people can sing its glory and then turn around and bash Ubisoft for the new Assassins' Creed games.

im in the same boat as you so yeah

Its cause TLoU:R is "special" according to many people hence any criticism towards it is met with a lot of hate

Both are cash grabs.

Who is critisizing Assassins's Creed? The people complaining about anything don't have PS4's that much i have noticed.

Of course it's a cash grab.

Did you know that Ubisoft's sole reason for producing this game is getting people to give them money?

It's DESPICABLE!!!

No, people are saying it's stupid because they didn't release it on current gen as well. They did it with Black Flag so they should have no problem.

Both games were designed for different hardware to be the best possible. If Ubisoft released it on current gen, people would bitch and moan about how how the graphics don't compare to the graphics in Unity (which was built ground-up for current-gen), and call it a cash-grab anyway.

Ubisoft just can't win.

AC4 ran on a last gen engine as well. Porting rogue to next gen shouldn't be harder than porting AC4. In fact it should be easier since it looks like a smaller game with reused assets.

I didn't know there was gonna be 2 of them. Is it the same game? If it's two separate games, I don't get why anyone is bitching about it.
